Default Fire Dragons

I don't play as Eldar. But this question is to resolve a problem that me and my buddy have. He plays as the Eldar.

From what he knows and he himself isn’t 100% sure how they work, but he claims Fire Dragons throw their melta bombs into a squad before they assault. He claims the make a small blast marker to. OVER KILL if you ask me. But I however know nothing about the Eldar so I can’t argue it.

So my question is. What do Fire Dragons do when they assault, and what are their melta bombs for?

Fire Dragons do NOT throw their Melta Bombs.. They used to in an older edition. Fire Dragons behave as normal in assault. Melta bombs are used in assault against armor on a vehicle. They give all their other attacks to use a melta bomb attack which is Str _, 2d6 armor penetration. The Strength is left '_' so I don't give away too much, but you get the idea now yes?

in other words; go knock your mate on the head for not reading the rulebook proper and pulling crap outa his, er, you know!

as pointed out, melta bombs are anti-tank grenades plain and simple... if fire dragons end up in assault, then something's gone rather horribly wrong for them!

cheers!

Exactly, the only reason they should ever assualt is by firing a volley of melta shots into a tank and if that does not work, assualt and plant melta bombs on SIDE OR REAR ARMOR ONLY!!!!

it's their 1 anti-infantry option so that they can actually protect themselves somewhat from hoards... (or the somewhat now angry unit who's ride they just recently slaged?!)

it's a smart option because it help make the dragons self-suficiant, especially if you give them say a wave serpent w/2x shuriken cannons... the high ap of the fusion guns will knock out meq's as well as tanks, while the flamer can mop-up most of lightly armoured unit! (oh, and tau won't ever 'fish of fury' a dragon unit once you slap down the flamer template on them!)

cheers!
